Say what you will about Halloween impacting the box office, but history has shown that there’s typically a movie that benefits from the holiday, and this weekend that title is Lionsgate’s Tyler Perry’s Boo! A Madea Halloween. The old lady is giving the distributor its first No. 1 second weekend hold of the year with an estimated $16.5M-$17M, sending Sony’s Dan Brown threequel Inferno into second place with a revised industry opening between $14.5M-$15M. As we mentioned previously, overseas has been a boom for Inferno with an anticipated $150M, but stateside is a complete bust for this $75M production.
And it's Madea's second weekend. Mess. Good thing the budget was relatively "low" for its standards and it'll probably get a profit from overseas but damn.
Here i was thinking the Madea movie was doing some out of this world numbers when Tom Hanks and Cruise are just flopping , maybe if he was beating them at their best it would mean something. The logic some of you use

Doesn't really matter if they're at their best or not. They are still A-listers getting their button kicked at the movie box office.
